This is my elder son Sean (9), most of the time whee I was online to update my blogs and reply to emails and surfing for new ideas, he will be the one who always come and see whether I have taken a rest, as it will the time he can play online games. Somehow, I do not know how he knew all the Internet surfing and searching as I never taught him, In his school, they only taught him the basic Microsoft office application. Kids, are much more smarter than we think.
Most of the time, when I was online, Sean will sit quietly watching and
sometime asking something when he was not sure what I was doing. And every time when I logged into community sites like MyBloglot, Blogcatalog and some others community sites, he saw his younger brother Maximus’s photo as my avatar and asked how can his photo be shown like his brother on the Internet.
Recently, I joined The ThirtyDays Challenge, and in this challenge Ed-Dale the site owner and 
trainer introduce some more Web2.0 sites to do promotion and marketing of this challenge, most of them I was a member and never really involve and do not know much of it features and benefits until this The ThirtyDays Challenge lessons. Since he “complaint” not using his photo on the net, so I decide to use Sean photo as my Avatar in the new Web2.0 sites, like You Tube, Digg, Friendfeed, Twitter etc.
Now here came the problem, after he saw his photo, he told me he didn’t quite like it, could he have like what I did for my blog, and now I realize, he wanted a blog of his own!
As one of Sean aims is to get into the International School when he finishes his primary education, we always told him that he must be good at his language and then he can enter the International School, so what’s better way than training him to write than have his own blog? Here Lady and Gentleman, I have the pleasure to present to you, Sean Journal. Feel free to leave your comment.

You Will Know What Is Better When It Comes To Earning Money
Tomato Story
A Jobless man applied for the position of ‘office boy’ at Microsoft.
The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.
‘You are employed’ he said. Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.
The man replied ‘But I don’t have a computer, neither an email’.
‘I’m sorry’, said the HR manager. If you don’t have an email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn’t exist, cannot have the job.’
The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate.
He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $60.
The man realized that he can survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled everyday.
Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.
5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US
He started to plan his family’s future, and decided to have a life insurance.
He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan.
When the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his email.
The man replied,’I don’t have an email.’
The broker answered curiously, ‘You don’t have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e mail?!!’ The man thought for a while and replied, ‘Yes, I’d be an office boy at Microsoft!’
Moral of the story
Moral 1
Internet is not the solution to your life.
Moral 2
If you don’t have Internet, but work hard, you can be a millionaire.
Moral 3
If you received this message by email,
you are closer to being an office boy/girl, than a millionaire……….
P.S – Do not forward this email back to me,
I am closing my email account & going to sell tomatoes!!!
Warm regards and thanks for your time !
